 ## NFS file share snapshots
 
-Customers using NFS Azure file shares can create, list, and delete NFS Azure file share snapshots. This capability allows users to roll back entire file systems or recover files that were accidentally deleted or corrupted.
-
-> [!IMPORTANT]
-> You should mount your file share before creating snapshots. If you create a new NFS file share and take snapshots before mounting the share, attempting to list the snapshots for the share will return an empty list. We recommend deleting any snapshots taken before the first mount and re-creating them after you've mounted the share.
-
-### Limitations
-
-Only file management APIs (`AzRmStorageShare`) are supported for NFS Azure file share snapshots. File data plane APIs (`AzStorageShare`) aren't supported.
-
-Azure Backup isn't currently supported for NFS file shares.
-
-AzCopy isn't currently supported for NFS file shares. To copy data from an NFS Azure file share or share snapshot, use file system copy tools such as rsync or fpsync.
-
-NFS Azure file share snapshots are available in all Azure public cloud regions.
-
-### Create a snapshot
-
-You can create a snapshot of an NFS Azure file share using the Azure portal, Azure PowerShell, or Azure CLI. A share can support the creation of up to 200 share snapshots.
-
-# [Azure portal](#tab/portal)
-
-To create a snapshot of an existing file share, sign in to the Azure portal and follow these steps.
-
-1. In the search box at the top of the Azure portal, type and select *storage accounts*.
-
-1. Select the FileStorage storage account that contains the NFS Azure file share that you want to take a snapshot of.

-### Delete snapshots
-
-Existing share snapshots are never overwritten. They must be deleted explicitly. You can delete share snapshots using the Azure portal, Azure PowerShell, or Azure CLI.
-
-# [Azure portal](#tab/portal)
-
-To delete a snapshot of an existing file share, sign in to the Azure portal and follow these steps.

-### Mount an NFS Azure file share snapshot
-
-To mount an NFS Azure file share snapshot to a Linux VM (NFS client) and restore files, follow these steps.
-
-1. Run the following command in a console. See [Mount options](#mount-options) for other recommended mount options. To improve copy performance, mount the snapshot with [nconnect](nfs-performance.md#nconnect) to use multiple TCP channels.
-   
-   ```bash
-   sudo mount -o vers=4,minorversion=1,proto=tcp,sec=sys $server:/nfs4account/share /media/nfs
-   ```
-   
-1. Change the directory to `/media/nfs/.snapshots` so you can view the available snapshots. The `.snapshots` directory is hidden by default, but you can access and read from it like any directory.
-   
-   ```bash
-   cd /media/nfs/.snapshots
-   ```
-   
-1. List the contents of the `.snapshots` folder.
-   
-   ```bash
-   ls
-   ```
-   
-1. Each snapshot has its own directory that serves as a recovery point. Change to the snapshot directory for which you want to restore files.
-   
-   ```bash
-   cd <snapshot-name>
-   ```
-   
-1. List the contents of the directory to view a list of files and directories that can be recovered.
-   
-   ```bash
-   ls
-   ```
-   
-1. Copy all files and directories from the snapshot to a *restore* directory to complete the restore.
-   
-   ```bash
-   cp -r <snapshot-name> ../restore
-   ```
-   
-The files and directories from the snapshot should now be available in the `/media/nfs/restore` directory.
+Customers using NFS Azure file shares can create, list, and delete file share snapshots. This capability allows users to roll back entire file systems or recover files that were accidentally deleted or corrupted.

-### Accessing share snapshots from Windows
-
-If you've taken a share snapshot, either manually or automatically through a script or service like Azure Backup, you can view previous versions of a share, a directory, or a particular file from a file share on Windows. You can take a share snapshot using the [Azure portal](storage-files-quick-create-use-windows.md#create-a-share-snapshot), [Azure PowerShell](/powershell/module/az.storage/new-azrmstorageshare), or [Azure CLI](/cli/azure/storage/share#az-storage-share-snapshot).

 ## Enable SMB Multichannel
 
 Support for SMB Multichannel in Azure Files requires ensuring Windows has all the relevant patches applied. Several older Windows versions, including Windows Server 2016, Windows 10 version 1607, and Windows 10 version 1507, require additional registry keys to be set for all relevant SMB Multichannel fixes to be applied on fully patched installations. If you're running a version of Windows that's newer than these three versions, no additional action is required.
